Re: can we stop calling every internet circuit "broadband"?

I have always considered it as broadband being any dedicated connection to the internet, one that exists alongside a voice or service and does not suffer from interference from either.

Basically anything that does not require you to dial up.

I'd also say that it would need to be the generally accepted minimum speeds and latency of a typical connection, so ISDN is no longer valid.
